Encounter digital implementation system
Cadence Design Systems has launched the Encounter digital implementation system, a configurable platform delivering scalability and support for parallel processing across the design flow.
The system also brings efficient new core memory architecture, delivering higher-performance, higher-capacity design closure for single CPU operations.
Along with enhanced performance and capacity, the Encounter digital implementation system offers new technologies for silicon virtual prototyping, die-size exploration and RTL and physical synthesis, providing improved predictability and optimisation in early stages of the design flow.
In addition, multiple enhanced implementation and design closure technologies are being introduced, including automated floorplan synthesis, end-to-end multi-mode multi-corner optimisation, variation-tolerant and low-power clock tree and clock mesh synthesis, high-capacity placement and optimisation, 32-nanometer routing and manufacturing-aware optimisation, signoff-driven implementation, and flip chip design features.
